Story
...
"Mein Fräulein, not one tear of yours was shed in vain during your pilgrimage."
Thus spoke Ozvaldo Hrafnavins when the Prinzessin's journey in the land of ever-silence came to a close.
In their long journey across space and time, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung and her Night-Severing Raven bore witness to countless stories and their endings, each a raindrop that flows at the journey's end into a bitter sea. Every young man's rage at injustice must turn to calm. Every passion must be ground into dust by the march of time, before being turned to wild paranoia upon that inverted, ancient tree. Even the branch of the tree of time upon which the great and glorious Reman Republic nested would be cut off in the end, such that the nation founded by the other twin child of the wolves might rule.
Everything in this world must pass through the doorway of their destruction unto the future kingdom of the Prinzessin. In the silence of her pitch-dark Nachtgarten would they find a place to slumber.
Even so, when Droctfult fell at the hands of the Beast of the World, having fought for the dreams of a young man and the rain that had yet to fall, and was torn to shred by its claws, the Prinzessin still began to tear up.
"Hearken well, Ozvaldo Hrafnavins. The Sovereign of the Immernachtreich weepeth not."
She went on, "Who among those born into this world are not burdened with sin? When the clock sounds for the time of judgment once more, the skirt of night shall descend once more.
Then the writhing struggles of man and beast trapped within will be naught but a midnight waltz."
"It is as you say, mein Fräulein."
"Humph. As well you should know."
"Well then, mein Fräulein, I wonder if you still recall this tale..."
Two of the three bright moons that caused the perfumed sea of the primordial universe to shine and stirred up the beasts of the Arianrhod Realm were shredded by a sword that tore the horizon asunder, left in smithereens too small even for the mystical sight of the Prinzessin.
Or perhaps this was what happened: the bright moons that once illuminated a universe,
brought dreams and song to the sweet sleepers of three worlds, and awakened a deep longing in the beast-herds that wandered betwixt dawn and dusk and dusk – they were at last rendered dust. But even so, they too wished to remain within the eternal, shining gaze of the Prinzessin, bringing their subtle light unto more lands still.
Indeed. A Prinzessin does not shed tears.
That was merely a natural secretion from her royal eyes, affronted as they were by the untimely intrusion of those impudent grains of sand.
Trivia
-”Mitternacht” is German for “Midnight”.
-Mitternachts Waltz was also available as a weapon in Honkai Impact 3rd as a part of a crossover event with Genshin Impact.
FAQs
Is Mitternachts Waltz a good weapon?
It is likely the most niche weapon in the entire game. The only character that finds it even somewhat useful is a Fischl that’s played as an on field DPS. Otherwise virtually no other character would even consider using it.
Who are some of the best users of Mitternachts Waltz?
Mitternachts Waltz is essentially tailor made for Fischl. It plays off of her Elemental Skill’s usage as a turret well, significantly boosting both it and her own personal damage at the same time. This is only the case if she’s used as an on the field DPS however, which typically is a suboptimal role for her.
Is Mitternachts Waltz still available?
It is only available as part of the Epitome Invocation wish banner whenever it is on rateup, and is currently unavailable everywhere else. Be on the lookout for its next banner rate up!
Final Thoughts
To be frank, unless you are going to specifically use this on Fischl as an on the field damage dealer, Mitternachts Waltz is greatly inferior to just about every other 4-Star Bow available, with a scarcity of true Physical Damage dealing bow users in the game currently.
